Andrew Brown has decided to retire from baseball.

Brown signed a minor league contract with the Angels earlier this month but only spent one week in camp. The 31-year-old played in the Korea Baseball Organization in 2015. He simply wants to spend more time with his family. Feb 29 - 12:14 PM

Angels signed OF Andrew Brown to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Brown, 31, spent last year in the Korea Baseball Organization and hit .261 with 28 home runs and an .856 OPS over 137 games with the SK Wyverns. He last appeared in the majors with the Mets in 2014. The Angels could use another bat in their outfield, but we're not counting on much from him. Feb 2 - 2:04 PM

Brown had been designated for assignment last month. The 30-year-old will likely have to settle for a minor league deal somewhere. Tue, Dec 2, 2014 06:54:00 PM

Athletics designated OF Andrew Brown for assignment.

Brown, who was claimed off waivers from the Mets at the end of October, becomes the roster casualty of the A's acquiring Ike Davis on Sunday. The 30-year-old will look to latch on elsewhere. Sun, Nov 23, 2014 05:13:00 PM

Albert Pujols underwent successful surgery on Friday to release his right plantar fascia.

The surgery was performed by Dr. Robert Anderson in North Carolina. The typical recovery time for this surgery is estimated at four months, which will impact his availability early in spring training as well as his regular off-season routine. This news should push Pujols down a couple of rounds in early fantasy drafts.

Angels manager Mike Scioscia said that the team will not overwork Garrett Richards (elbow) in 2017.

Richards underwent stem cell treatment for a tear in his ulnar collateral ligament in May, ending his season at that very early juncture. He is expected to be ready for spring training, but the Angels are going to be reasonably cautious as the season unfolds. Said Scioscia, "You’re not going to see Garrett throwing 220 innings next year. I hate to put a floor on (the innings) and have to get into a range right now, but I can tell you that we are going to be very, very careful with where Garrett is and make sure that he rebounds and maintains his stuff." Richards has pitched more than 170 innings just once in his big league career.

Cam Bedrosian underwent surgery Tuesday on the embolus in his right armpit.

Embolus is the scientific term for a blood clot. Bedrosian is expected to be able to resume full baseball activities in 6-8 weeks, so he should enter spring training next February at 100 percent health. The 24-year-old right-hander finished the 2016 season with a stellar 1.12 ERA and 51/14 K/BB ratio in 40 1/3 innings.
